GC Adds Strength Coach Scott Smith

Oct 25, 2012

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College
Department of Athletics has added Scott Smith as
the first graduate assistant for strength and conditioning.

No stranger to Bobcat Athletics, Smith played college baseball
at GC for three years and collected a volunteer experience as an
assistant baseball coach with the baseball team. He holds a
certification with the National Strength and Conditioning
Association.

Smith had three stints as a strength and conditioning
coach/intern with Minor League Baseball teams affiliated with the
Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays. During
his time in Minor League Baseball, Smith gained experience in
exercise program implementation, corrective exercises for athlete
rehabilitation as well as educating players in specific lifting and
conditioning techniques.

His experience with athletes on the professional level will
undoubtedly bring helpful expertise to the Georgia College strength
and conditioning program.

"We're very excited to have Scott join the Bobcat family,"
Director of Athletics Wendell Staton said. "This athletic and
academic collaboration is going to be a great help for student
athletes at Georgia College."

Smith graduated in 2009 with a Bachelors in Exercise Science
and is currently pursuing a Masters in Human Performance at Georgia
College.

The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners
of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic
programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program,
Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the
student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in
post-season competition as well as documented academic success and
community-service involvement. Sign up at
